GMR Soundboard custom 4 - Trade for a 5 string £550 Chelmsford

[Philly]

A tentative trade offering - I recently traded a 5 string for this and now need to get a five string back in the arsenal so its last in first out! 

 

This is a great bass, it is all that I wanted, playability is effortless, weight is great for long gigs and it looks stunning. I've lifted the quote below from a previous sale of this which explains the bass better than I can! I will add a link to the last ad, but I've added some new sunny photos. 

 

'These were very expensive new and this has had a lot of work done to it. It had a pro set up at ATB guitars and sports a customised Bartolini preamp from Dex audio with a very narrow range that just keeps it all super useable in the real world. 
Controls are: volume, bass, treble, with a pull for low mid boost and a switch for each pickup to toggle between series/parallel/single coil   
 

It has an almost Stingray ish sound from the humbuckers and is surprisingly warm and rich. Neck is slim and flat, like a jazz bass meets a status, the most comfy neck I’ve ever owned. (In Over 300 basses!!) 

The balance is spot on and the truss works fine etc. '

 

A 5 string version of this would suit me perfectly but they are as rare as the proverbial rocking horse.., so ideally a lightweight jazz of some sort, ideally passive would be good. 

 

Thanks

 

Phil

This might be worth a look if you’re after a 5st one - they’ll no doubt take that in Trade too Id have thought, although will probably cost you a bit of cash too, which might not be ideal!

I really like GMR basses - that’s a proper bargain for £550!
